Comparing this histogram to the other two I am able to see that in between 70 and 90 is the frequency is at one. In histogram 2 I am unable to exactly decipher what this same frequency would be. As for histogram 3 I am able to tell the frequency but the X values are harder to decipher than in histogram one. Column two is 10% more than column one. Since the values of frequency are 1 and 11. Columns 5 and 6 have the same percentages for frequency. You can tell that between 110 and 130 had the highest percentage of frequency with 75 to 95 was the lowest.</span> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <span></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">Type your name in the upper-right corner of this page next to</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">Student Name</span><span></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">Save your file as a</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">Word Document</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">(.docx).Include the term</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">Statdisk</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">and your</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">First Name</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'"> when saving your file.</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">Example:</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'"> Statdisk_David.docx</span><span></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">Upload your completed document using the</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">Browse</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'"> button, and then click the</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'">Submit</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial'"> button.</span> <p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="" colspan="2" style="padding: 0.00pt;background-color:#003399;border:0.00pt solid #000000"> <p> <span style="font-family:'Arial';color:#ffffff">Points Possible:</span><span style="font-family:'Arial';color:#ffff00">20</span> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <p> </p> </div> </body></html> ">
